j. pastel – 'Strawberry Lemonade'

Rising bedroom pop duo j. pastel share laid back new single ‘Strawberry Lemonade’.

‘Strawberry Lemonade’ is all about slowing things down. Carried by intricate down-tempo guitars and dreamy lo-fi beats, j. pastel’s signature airy vocals radiate a gentle, rosy glow that fits right in with the track’s subtly romantic atmosphere. It’s a track that invites you to sit back and relax, close your eyes and breathe deeply as you lose yourself in its swooning lyricism – “You’re leaving in the morning, but I don’t want to think about it. So, Darling, just hold me.”

The follow-up to bouncy pop single ‘Senegal’, ‘Strawberry Lemonade’ did a full 180, demonstrating j. pastel’s powerful artistic range and fuelling excitement for their debut EP. With two entirely different offerings on the table so far, it’s sure to be a record brimming with wonderfully eclectic soundscapes.
